Kristy Klein has been a part of Impact Actual since the very beginning. She was a client of Rob's many years back, and their conversations planted the seed that led to the concept of the first "Impact Coach" certification. Her full time career is as scientist and program manager as a Government Civilian. The leadership skills she has honed and grown over the 10+ years in her career translate well in to her coaching. Kristy also has a long history as a triathlete and endurance athlete over almost 20 years, in addition to coaching. This experience in racing and training for grueling events has allowed her to hone skills in mental resilience and endurance, along with the physical aspect. These skills have helped her rebound and rebuild after some major health issues reared their ugly heads and brought her personal athletic career as she knew it to a grinding halt. Being a coach and helping others become more well rounded in life and in sports is now her passion.
2:51 Because again, as I as I scanned over there, all of this came from accidents, good fortune intersections, and quick relationships and things leading to things. So let's go back though to talk about you personally, you, you are a scientist, I like to just use that simple term because I don't understand what it is.
4:39 you mentioned doing it like methodically, you said that you liked the way it was done structurally. That actually kind of segues right back to being scientific in the method and so forth following step by step that makes sense that will be appealing to somebody as compared to loosey goosey intuition based only like hey, how you feeling today, let's talk about your feelings. It's saying you You know, we're going to hold accountability, what do you what's next, never stay in the comfort zone too long, basically right step to the next thing, move on to the next thing. And that is a really big part of your story.
8:55 It only happened a couple of years ago, and I've had some peaks and valleys with my conditions ever since it's not like I got diagnosed and got on medication and life was back to hunky dory. You know, there's been little sub peaks and valleys coming through that in the last four years or so since I got diagnosed. So, you know, it's still a work in progress. You know, this is, is a lifetime process. It's not like, you know, when you go through these programs, when I do all this stuff, it's not like I do it, close the book and, and move on.
14:57 I never realized how small my goals were Until I realized how big I am.
20:59 right, I'm not going to tell you life's gonna be rosy and you go through this and you're never going to have a problem again in your life. Now that's not that's life happens and life is full of problems. It's just gives you better skills and coping mechanisms to maybe later on, get through that a lot quicker, a lot easier to get through your problems easier, or, you know, faster or whatever, it gives you better coping skills.
33:55 But until you get it off your chest, you can't move past it. And that's the thing. I mean, like I keep talking about glossy trifold we're not we're not two dimensional images of ourselves in the impact world. We're about being 100% real 360 whole person and saying you can't shock me bring it to me.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
